From http://crooksandliars.com/2015/03/money-bomb-replacing-rahm-emanuel-chuy
Money contributed today isn't going to be wasted on expensive network TV ads-- which Rahm is spending $10 million on-- but will be spent on real community outreach efforts.
If you're thinking about donating, remember that it costs the campaign $6 to provide a box lunch for a volunteer out in the field. This campaign is going to be won because of a get-out-the-vote effort. That's what Chuy's operation is all about right now. Providing 50 buttons for distribution at an event is $25. It costs $100 to print 1000 copies of an 8½x11 piece to pass out on street corners, outside grocery stores, on subway platforms, in front of churches and synagogues and community centers, outside high school basketball games, at parades and rallies. Money contributed today--even small amounts-- combine with others to make a real difference.
Really, folks if you can, give.

Garcia, needs as much help as possible!
Rahm is the poster boy for the 3rd-Way.
There is NO DIFFERENCE!
Billionaire Who Backs Rahm Emanuel Also A Big GOP Donor
Groups supporting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's (D) re-election received $750,000 this month from a conservative hedge fund founder who also has given money to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and conservative groups.
Ken Griffin, CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, has donated nearly $1 million to pro-Emanuel groups in the last year, including $750,000 since March 2, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Griffin has also contributed to Walker, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.). Schock, under fire for lavish spending, said on Tuesday that he would resign from Congress. Since last year, Griffin has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars American Crossroads, America Rising, the Republican National Committee and other conservative groups.
The donations to Emanuel come as the mayor faces Cook County Commissioner Jesus "Chuy" Garcia in a runoff election scheduled for April 7. Emanuel has raised nearly $20 million for his re-election since taking office in 2011, the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday.
